Exhibit 99.1
Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company Announces Results for the Quarter Ended February 28, 2010
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2010--(NYSE:KED) Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended February 28, 2010.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The Company announced a quarterly distribution of $0.30 per share
- Net asset value: $17.03 per share
- Net investment loss: $0.2 million
- Net realized gains: $3.2 million
- Net unrealized gains: $4.7 million
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – QUARTER ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010
Investment income totaled $1.4 million and consisted primarily of dividends from the Company’s MLP investments and interest income on its debt investments. The Company received $2.5 million of cash dividends and distributions, of which $2.1 million was treated as a return of capital during the period.
The amount of investment income received by the Company during its fiscal first quarter is lower than previous quarters because the Company did not receive a cash distribution from its common and preferred investments in Direct Fuels Partners, L.P. (“Direct Fuels”). In lieu of a cash distribution on its common and preferred units, Direct Fuels is paying a distribution to such unitholders in additional preferred units. The preferred units being issued are a new series, senior to the existing preferred units. The $1.2 million preferred unit distribution accrued by the Company during the quarter is not included in investment income, but is included in the net change in unrealized gains.
Operating expenses totaled $1.7 million, including $0.9 million of base investment management fees; $0.4 million for interest expense and $0.4 million for other operating expenses. Base investment management fees were equal to an annual rate of 1.75% of average total assets (excluding deferred tax assets).
The Company’s net investment loss totaled $0.2 million and included a deferred income tax benefit of $0.1 million.
The Company had net realized gains from its investments of $3.2 million, net of $1.9 million of deferred tax expense. During the quarter, the Company monetized several of its investments in publicly traded MLPs in an effort to generate realized gains. The Company engaged in this strategy in an effort to reduce its capital loss carryforwards with such realized gains.
The Company had a net change in unrealized gains of $4.7 million. This net change in unrealized gains consisted of $7.4 million of unrealized gains from investments that were partially offset by a deferred tax expense of $2.7 million. The majority of these gains are attributable to the Company’s publicly traded MLPs, its investment in debt securities and the Direct Fuels’ preferred unit distribution.
The Company had an increase in net assets resulting from operations of $7.7 million. This increase is composed of the net unrealized gains of $4.7 million; net realized gains of $3.2 million and a net investment loss of $0.2 million.
PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
As of February 28, 2010, the Company had long-term investments of $210.8 million. The Company’s long-term investments consisted of 46 portfolio companies, which were comprised of approximately 45% in private MLPs, 34% in public MLPs and 21% in energy debt securities.
NET ASSET VALUE
As of February 28, 2010, the Company’s net asset value was $173.6 million or $17.03 per share. This represents an increase of $0.45 per share or 2.7% compared to $168.5 million or $16.58 per share on November 30, 2009. As of February 28, 2010, the total cost basis of the Company's investments exceeds the fair value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This difference, combined with capital and net operating losses, results in a deferred tax asset of $15.7 million, or approximately $1.54 per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of February 28, 2010, the Company had approximately $11.3 million invested in short-term repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. Treasury bonds.
As previously disclosed on March 30, 2010, the Company refinanced its existing senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Existing Credit Facility”) with a new senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility has availability of $70 million and a three year commitment maturing on March 30, 2013.
The maximum amount that the Company can borrow under its New Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of $70 million and its borrowing base. The Company’s borrowing base is generally calculated by multiplying the fair value of each of its investments by an advance rate for such type of investment. The advance rates in the New Credit Facility are substantially the same as the Existing Credit Facility with the exception of a lower advance rate on the Company’s private MLPs. The Company does not anticipate that the changes to its New Credit Facility will have a material impact on its distributable cash flow or investment strategy.
As of February 28, 2010, the Company had $61 million borrowed under its Existing Credit Facility (at an interest rate of 1.48%) which represented 71.2% of its borrowing base of $85.7 million. As of April 5, 2010, the Company had $55 million borrowed under its New Credit Facility (at an interest rate of 2.25%) which represented 72.8% of the borrowing base of $75.6 million.
DISTRIBUTION
On April 1, 2010, the Company announced a distribution of $0.30 per share for the quarter ended February 28, 2010.
GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL 2010
Based on the Company’s portfolio of investments and average yields on those investments as of February 28, 2010, the Company estimates dividends, distributions, and interest income will be approximately $4.8 million per quarter. Such estimate does not reflect any changes in cash distributions made by MLPs or changes in interest rates based on the movement in LIBOR rates since February 28, 2010. Such estimate includes the $1.2 million preferred unit distribution from Direct Fuels.

| | (1) | | Average yields include return of capital distributions. Return of capital distributions are reported as a reduction to gross dividends and distributions to arrive at net investment income reported under generally accepted accounting principles. |
| (2) | | Average yields for Public MLPs and MLP Affiliates are based on the most recently declared distributions as of February 28, 2010. Amount invested and average yields for Private MLPs are based on February 28, 2010 valuations and distribution rates. |
| (3) | | The amount invested and average yield excludes the Company’s ProPetro investment (the Company does not anticipate receiving cash interest payments on this investment). The average yield includes amortization of the purchase price discount. |

Base Management Fees and Other Operating Expenses - Base management fees are estimated to be approximately $0.9 million per quarter. Other operating expenses are estimated to be approximately $0.45 million per quarter.
Interest Expense - Based on $61.0 million borrowed under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility as of February 28, 2010, interest expense is estimated to be approximately $0.35 million per quarter assuming a LIBOR rate of 0.25% and a spread of 2.00%.
The Company does not provide guidance on realized gains or incentive management fees.
Based on the foregoing assumptions, the Company is expected to generate distributable cash flow per share of $0.31 per quarter.

The Company is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through equity and debt investments.
